bbc news. england with notices and front ahead of that opening day in the former assistant coach says it is important having one last time out in cape town that england match that level of performance here. the consistency is the one thing that we have been striving for for a number of years now. the first test match was not a great performance, south africa played exceptionally well. england played exceptionally well. england played well in cape town, deserved to win the test, all 11 made a contribution and that will be the contribution and that will be the contribution for —— the conversation was that we need to back—up the second test. even though it could end as a draw, england need to back that performance up in the level of skill and commitment. if they do that i expect them to win the game. one player who is not with the english squad is... he has been taking time away from test cricket after being granted a break in

august following a run of poor performances. he has told the bbc that he feels he was often the first person to be blamed when england lost. it did get to me and that was probably one of the reasons why it made me feel like i needed to step back from test cricket in particular. for in the nested time, —— internet the time... i did quite well in the summer. had a bad game against australia and the ashes. but i dropped away, but it was almost like it was all my fault and i have not been good enough for a while, i'm not done anything for two years oi’ i'm not done anything for two years ora i'm not done anything for two years or a year. except that i have. i think it isjust or a year. except that i have. i think it is just one of those things. if i bat and we don't score, they understand it is my fault. it is difficult sometimes. now to some developing news this evening about saracens and whether they will be relegated from rug bees premiership.

we know that they have already been handed a 35 point deduction and a fine of £5.3 million for salary—cap regions over the last three reasons. there is concerns the struggle struggle to make this eric after this current season and could face relegation for the season for so what's bring in chrisjones. how does this come to light then please look this is a developing story as you say and taking on a lot of... take on was empty since tuesday. it was an ownership meeting. it's about whether saracens, we know they preached the salary cap the past three seasons. they been punished accordingly, but will they be under the salary cap this season and the signs are there struggling to do that and what the clubs don't want is another situation where saracens say stay up this caesar because there's a good site they could wind with a 35 point reduction. and then

they start with the breach and start they start with the breach and start the next season on minus points again and in the process relegate another club. so, the clubs have basically made it clear that if saracens cannot comply and do not comply with the revocations of the season, and that they are facing relegation to the chamberjib and thatis relegation to the chamberjib and that is something saracens have to deal with very quickly and if they cannot get under the salary which at the moment was typical, the repercussions could be pretty drastic. i was going to ask about that because there are also is of legal contracts with these players. how difficult would be to make changes midseason? what is happening now sara is the full extent of saracens breaches of the past few seasonsis saracens breaches of the past few seasons is starting to emerge because more and more directors and chief executives are seeing this confidential report, 103 or four page report currently locked away in premiership rugby headquarters detailing the fact that the breach

west season especially is quite significant and if saracens suddenly we re significant and if saracens suddenly were to get rid of five players now, they had the pay those players compensation and that would count towards the salary cap. it's easier said than done. the chief executive has, and said they may need to trim the squad but as of time of speaking, no players have left saracens and it has been seven months of this salary season so far. there are loads of questions but what i think is clear is there is determination from the rest of the lead not to let saracens stay up in the premiership if they are continuing to breach the salary—cap and in the process, relegate a side who is playing by the rules. chris jones appreciate your time. chris jones, the bbc‘s rugby union corresponded. what's up at headlines from the world the football today. manchester united have agreed a deal to sell the defender after eight years at old

taking place. this is a party politicalthing. it's a taking place. this is a party political thing. it's a wonder that the democrats have so much potable capital pushing this through and making at the centre of the news and jennifer such a king moment. of this election cycle with the democratic primaries coming up going into a kind of election year. we all know what is going to happen, america has one of the most politicised judiciaries in the world up and down of liberal democracies. and they will vote on parting lines, the republicans will stop this going through in the senate and it will all amount to nothing. in fact it might end up making trump look better to some of his voters and you don'tjust like better to some of his voters and you don't just like any of the institutions of —— they don't like any of the institutions estoppel it will reinforce trump project support in americans was that there was a this is a witchhunt against him. in americans was that there was a this is a witchhunt against himm plays into his hands in many ways. it's the mechanics of the day impeachment and the beach that can

come out... that we have not heard so come out... that we have not heard so far. we have heard well but we don't know who will give evidence what will come, and it may reinforce his core supporters vote, but actually, there are a lot of floating voters out there. it is not really a done deal the selection. when it comes to the election, there are some a variables up in the air, the big one is the economy and a lot of that will have to do with the trade war as well as monetary policy what happens in the economy. but i think on this point when all this stuff comes out and you start to see all of the dirty laundry being aired, what we've seen i think in situations like this historically thinking back to the expenses scandal went lots of stuff goes on inside comes out, it tends to rather than necessary encourage people to vote against trom, just put them off politics altogether and say they are all the same and all in on it. i don't know if that will benefit trump or not. my in situ that it

could. —— my instinct is that it could. —— my instinct is that it could. what will, but we don't know how that will play in terms of the election. i suppose for the democrats as you are saying the danger is it plays into his hands. but isn't there also possible upside for them that it doesn't swing some potential voters to their way, it is all to play for the selection. it will be embarrassing for him, there is no doubt about that. that's why he's desperate to do the distraction techniques. to make people look the other way. there was a lot of suggestion that iran was partly a way of making people look elsewhere. but also to reinforce his hard man image and that he is the protector of the country. he is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep his people safe. as i was saying, i think a lot for happens in the actual election will be affected by what goes on in the economy this year. he has been in power for the economy this year. he has been in powerfora term the economy this year. he has been in power for a term already, if he is riding the wave of his tax cuts
